Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement and a process for reducing the water consumption in WC flushing cisterns. The object of the invention is to reduce the water consumption in WC flushing cisterns. This object is achieved by a two-chamber flushing cistern, it being possible for the chamber volume in each of the two chambers to be different, but also the same. The installation of regulable main valves does not rule out this system and is advantageous. The two chambers are connected to one another via a connecting duct with a valve in one flow direction, with the result that either flushing water only flows out of one chamber - and thus only some of the entire water quantity is used - or, via the connecting duct, when the connecting valve is opened, the flushing-water quantity present in the two chambers is used. The advantage of this flushing cistern consists in that the water requirement for the flushing operation can be restricted and water can thus be saved.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung und ein Verfahren zur Reduzierung des Wasserverbrauches in WC-Spülkästen.The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for reducing the Water consumption in toilet cisterns.

Im allgemeinen ist der Wasserverbrauch in Spülkästen durch die gespeicherte Wassermenge bestimmt. Diese kann durch eine Wasserhöhenstandsregulierung oder durch die Spülkastengröße variiert werden. Sie liegt etwa zwischen 6 und 9 Litern. Bei Betätigen des Spülvorgangs fließt der gesamte Spülkasteninhalt aus.In general, water consumption in cisterns is due to the amount of water stored certainly. This can be done by regulating the water level or by Cistern size can be varied. It is between 6 and 9 liters. When pressing the The entire cistern contents flow out during the flushing process.

In letzter Zeit sind regelbare Absperrventilausführungen bekannt geworden, die durch eine Unterbrechung des Spülvorganges jede beliebige Begrenzung der Spülwassermenge ermöglichen. Unbedingt notwendige Zwischenmengen lassen sich aber nicht problemlos dosieren, so daß eine definierte Wasserersparnis, besonders bei Betätigung des Spülvorganges durch Kinder nicht gegeben ist.In recent times, adjustable shut-off valve designs have become known, which are characterized by a Interruption of the rinsing process any limitation of the amount of rinsing water enable. Absolutely necessary intermediate quantities can not be easily dose so that a defined water saving, especially when the Washing process by children is not given.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine technische Lösung aufzuzeigen, mit der der Wasserverbrauch in WC-Spülkästen reduziert wird.The invention has for its object to show a technical solution with which Water consumption in toilet cisterns is reduced.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Zweikammer-Spülkasten gelöst, wobei das Kammervolumen unterschiedlich, aber auch gleich groß sein kann. Der Einbau regelbarer Hauptventile schließt dieses System nicht aus und ist nützlich. Beide Kammern sind über einen Verbindungskanal mit einem Ventil in einer Fließrichtung miteinander verbunden, so daß entweder nur aus einer Kammer Spülwasser fließt - und damit nur ein Teil der Gesamtwassermenge - oder über den Verbindungskanal bei Öffnen des Verbindungsventils die in beiden Kammern verhandene Spülwassermenge einbezogen wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a two-chamber cistern, the Chamber volume can be different, but can also be the same size. The installation adjustable Main valves does not exclude this system and is useful. Both chambers are over a connecting channel with a valve connected to each other in a flow direction, so that either only rinse water flows from one chamber - and thus only part of the Total water volume - or via the connection channel when the connection valve is opened the amount of flushing water available in both chambers is included.

Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend an Hand der Fig. 1 bis 3 beschrieben werden:The invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3:

Fig. 1:
Der Spülkasten besteht aus dem Behälter 1, dem Deckel 2, der Zwischenwand 3, dem Verbindungsventil 6, den Hauptventilen 7, 8, den Betätigungsschaltern 9, 10 mit äußerlich unterschiedlicher Größe, dem Wassereinlauf 11 für die Gesamtwassermenge mges und den Öffnungen 12 für eine Schlauchverbindung für die variable Wasserzuführung (rechts, links) in den Spülkasten. Fig. 1:
The cistern consists of the container 1 , the lid 2 , the partition 3 , the connecting valve 6 , the main valves 7, 8 , the actuating switches 9, 10 with an externally different size, the water inlet 11 for the total amount of water m ges and the openings 12 for one Hose connection for the variable water supply (right, left) in the cistern.

Der dargestellte Schaltzustand ist so, daß beide Kammern mit Wasser 4, 5 gefüllt sind und kein Hauptventil betätigt ist. An der Unterseite ist ein gemeinsamer Wasserauslauf für die Teil- (m₁, m₂) bzw. Gesamtwassermenge mges. The switching state shown is such that both chambers are filled with water 4, 5 and no main valve is actuated. At the bottom is a common water outlet for the partial (m₁, m₂) or total amount of water m tot .

Fig. 2:
Dieser Schaltzustand stellt eine kleine Wasserentnahme, die durch Betätigen des äußerlich kleineren Betätigungsschalters 9 eingeleitet wird, dar. Fig. 2:
This switching state represents a small water withdrawal, which is initiated by actuating the externally smaller actuation switch 9 .

Das Hauptventil 7 wird geöffnet und die Wassermenge m₁ fließt nur aus der Kammer 4 aus. Die abfließende Gesamtwassermenge ist mges = m₁. Die Nachbarkammer 5 bleibt weiterhin gefüllt, da das Verbindungsventil 6 geschlossen bleibt. Nach Leerlaufen der Kammer 4 wird diese über den Wassereinlauf 11 wieder gefüllt.The main valve 7 is opened and the amount of water m₁ only flows out of the chamber 4 . The total water flow is m tot = m₁. The neighboring chamber 5 remains filled because the connection valve 6 remains closed. After the chamber 4 has run dry, it is filled again via the water inlet 11 .

Fig. 3:
Dieser Schaltzustand stellt die Entnahme der Gesamtwassermenge dar, in dem der äußerlich größere Betätigungsschalter 10 betätigt wird, um das Hauptventil 8 zu öffnen. Das Wasser fließt aus Kammer 5 aus. Durch die Wasserspiegelabsenkung kommt es zu einer Höhendifferenz h zwischen den Kammern 4 und 5, die ein automatisches Öffnen des Verbindungsventils 6 bewirkt und somit Wasser aus der Kammer 4 in die Kammer 5 fließen kann. Die abfließende Gesamtwassermenge ist mges = m₁ + m₂. Nach dem Leerlaufen beider Kammern fließt über den Wassereinlauf 11 zuerst in die Kammer 4. Mit dem Ansteigen des Wasserstandes in der Kammer 4 entsteht wieder ein h zu der Kammer 5, so daß durch die Höhendifferenz ein automatisches Öffnen des Verbindungsventils erfolgt und somit auch ein Füllen der Kammer 5 gewährleistet ist. Fig. 3:
This switching state represents the withdrawal of the total amount of water in which the externally larger actuation switch 10 is actuated to open the main valve 8 . The water flows out of chamber 5 . Due to the lowering of the water level, there is a height difference h between the chambers 4 and 5 , which causes the connecting valve 6 to open automatically and thus water can flow from the chamber 4 into the chamber 5 . The total water flow is m tot = m₁ + m₂. After both chambers have been emptied, they first flow into chamber 4 via water inlet 11 . As the water level in the chamber 4 rises again, an h to the chamber 5 arises, so that the height difference causes the connection valve to open automatically, thus ensuring that the chamber 5 is filled.
